Pros:Size and featherweight for a fixed f2.8 wide-angle zoom. Very low price compared to the competition. Sharpness even at TA. Fast and accurate AF. Possibility of mounting screw filters. Flare resistance. Lens hood included
Cons:Nobody
Opinion:It's a crazy wide-angle lens in terms of weight, size and price. It covers the most used wide-angle focal lengths with exemplary sharpness, detail and resistance to the line and in line with the most famous wide-angle zooms that cost significantly more. I read in some reviews that it distorts, yes it is true like all wide angles and in any case they are distortions corrected very well with Lightroom or Camera Raw. Used on sony a7IV, accurate and fast af even in low light conditions. The user experience is very pleasant, you don't feel the weight and the minimum volume. Advised!!
Pros:Image quality, 2.8, fast autofocus, lightweight, compact, internal zoom, possibility to mount screw filters, it is found at a good price.
Cons:Sharpness at the edges with big megapixels (better to close a little), flare resistance not so optimal, focus ring
Opinion:My first wide-angle lens on fullframe mirrorless. I find it pleasantly usable thanks to its compactness and lightness, they make you always carry it with you. The autofocus is very performing and the image quality is excellent, even if it loses slightly at the edges but closing the aperture solves this problem quite a bit. I've used it on Sony A7III and A7rIII, with 24mpx it's an exceptional lens, even if on some occasions 17mm have been a bit tight for me, but that's another story. On the 42mpx of the rIII, at the edges, you begin to see the limits of the optics. The materials, even if we are talking about plastic, are of excellent quality, it gives the idea of a well-built lens. I also really like the front cap, much better than the Sigma and Sony. The focus ring doesn't excite me, I find it too smooth. All in all, it is a lens that I recommend, small and performing, at the right price.
Pros:sharpness in the general center, resistance to flare and crazy back-sun, weight, af
Cons:It loses a little at the extreme edges at full opening, but closing a little resolves.
Opinion:It's my fixed hooked lens on travel. An excellent af, an excellent resistance to flare, almost impossible to tick even looking for it on purpose. I find it very clear at full opening, in the spectacular center, at the extreme edges it loses a little, but closing the diaphragm a little recovers. I had taken it initially, because I was looking for a 24mm and I discovered the beauty of 20 and 17mm. I must say I really like it, the only flaw, is that it stops at 28, but this is known before buying it. I use it with a7rIII so a demanding sensor. Construction level I find it good, obvious that it is not a GM but it is built well. It gives me a good feeling that lasts over time.
Cons:Edge sharpness, distortion and flare tightness
Opinion:Really fun, lightweight lens that you take everywhere because you know you're going to use it. Overall it is a good lens and if you take it used it is worth the money spent. I would not take it new because at that point I would bet on something a little better as this Tamron has a very good sharpness in the center but, at the widest angle focal lengths, it loses a lot of sharpness at the edges. At 28mm, for example, it already recovers. Flare resistance is good, but not great. The distortion speech is a bit problematic because yes, there is distortion, but it is easily corrected, making the issue a bit ambiguous (it is better that there is not, but if it is correctable if you want you can turn a blind eye... Which with sharpness you can not do: that is and that you keep). A lens that all in all I recommend (if you do not pay too much).
Pros:Weight, dimensions, brightness, sharpness in the center, tropicalization
Cons:Focal range, lack of physical keys, substantial loss at the edges especially if mounted on big mp
Opinion:This is the oldest lens I have in my kit, and it accompanies me in my outings since 2019 now. It is an exceptional lens in relation to what it weighs and its size, make it a very valid choice for those who have to carry on their shoulders kg and kg of photographic equipment. It is absolutely the lens that I recommend to combine with others or lenses (eg 24-70 / 24-105) on 24mp. The speech changes slightly on 42mp to rise, I have always used it on 24mp, but since I switched to rIII I found myself holding a lens quite different from the one I knew, the center continues to remain very good, the sides begin to take enough though. Overall compared to what it costs is certainly an excellent purchase, but if we have opportunities it is better to invest something more for something else, not so much for the IQ but so much for the versatility of the lens that is practically nothing. Unlike a 16-35 we cannot afford to go out with only this lens in the backpack.
